Appearance
Colorless to light yellow clear viscous liquid
Function
Polyquaterniums find particular application in conditioners, shampoo, hair mousse, hair spray, hair dye, and contact lens solutions. Because they are positively charged, they neutralize the negative charges of most shampoos and hair proteins and help hair lie flat. Their positive charges also ionically bond them to hair and skin.
Synonyms
Polyquaternium 11; Luviquat PQ 11 PN; Ply(n-vinylpyrrolidone2-dimethylaminoethylmethacrylate)dimethylsulfate; Quaternized copolymer of VP/DMAEMA(PQ-11)
